I know that the 'WebSphere MQ for Solaris Quick Beginnings Version 6.0' document says that the minimum OS level of Solaris is 5.8.

However, I'm wondering if anyone has tried to install 6.0 on a Solaris 5.7 box? And if so, is it running succesfully?

We're nearing completion of our MQ upgrades to 6.0 (I know, finally!!!). We have one remaining production box running Solaris 5.7 (on an Ultra 80) and there are currently no plans to upgrade Solaris on this box.

Nevermind.

I found an old dev server running 5.7 and tried to install it. The script checks the OS level and won't let you install. Oh well...

Code:
bash-2.02# pkgadd -d p000-L050519.img

The following packages are available:
  1  mqm     WebSphere MQ for Sun Solaris
             (sparcv9) 6.0.0.0

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: 1

Processing package instance <mqm> from </tmp>

Then you won't have that piece installed. That shouldn't be a problem.

I usually install 1-5, when space allows, but I've installed as little as 1 & 4 when I've been short on disk space and have no problems.
